The relevance of DELTA for the homeless sector

• Delta targets  people who suffer from a
  combination of medical, physical, social and
  work-related problems 
• Homeless people often combine several interacting
  health and social needs and the multiple needs
  add up to a high aggregate of vulnerability
  across a range of areas.
• For this reason, FEANTSA has long advocated a
  joined up way of working, whereby services are
  brought together and one service can be a gateway
  to others
